The group was set up in February 2024 by Joan Richardson.
"I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and had a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy following a mastectomy. I made enquiries about a support group in Stamford and as there wasn't one, I decided to start one."
The group has grown and we moved from the Garden Room at the Stamford Day Centre into a larger room in the centre in August 2024.
